The Future Galatico of BearStackof2015 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Panda with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.61 billion BearStacks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bearstonia. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient BearStackian economy, worth a remarkable 1,546 trillion Roombas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 203,193 Roombas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education. Crime is totally unknown. BearStackof2015's national animal is the BearStack, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BearStackof2015 is ranked 4,235^th in the world and 104^th in The East Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 138.6 quips per hour.
